Long Beach police responded around 10:30 a.m. to reports of gunfire in the 500 block of New York Street, approximately three blocks from the Poly High campus. When officers arrived, they found a 16-year-old boy suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the lower body, according to the Long Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n

Long Beach Fire Department crews treated the teen at the scene before transporting him to a local hospital.<\/p>\n

According to LBPD spokesperson Officer Eric Stachura, a preliminary investigation revealed that a man approached a group of male juveniles and brandished a firearm. The suspect then fired toward the group, striking the victim. The gunman fled before officers arrived.<\/p>\n

No suspect description was immediately available, and the motive remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

Police are urging anyone with information to contact LBPD detectives.<\/p>\n
